Psili Ammos Beach
Ψιλή Άμμος
A shallow, sandy beach on the southeast tip, looking across the strait to the Turkish coast. The nearby Ailiki salt marsh has flamingos in winter and spring.
Psili Ammos, meaning 'fine sand', lies at the southeast tip of Samos. It is one of the few golden-sand beaches on the island, with shallow, calm water that is ideal for families with children. The Turkish Mycale Peninsula is about 2 km away across the strait, and its mountains are clearly visible. There are a few seafood restaurants by the beach, and the nearby Ailiki salt marsh often hosts flamingos in winter and spring. It is about 12 km from Pythagoreio, reached by car or the summer bus.
